Meet ilse
ilse Gevaert
Ilse Gevaert is a highly skilled psychologist and coach with expertise in neurodiversity (such as Autism and ADHD), giftedness, twice-exceptionality (2e), trauma recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and resilience. Originally from Belgium, Ilse continued her education at prestigious institutions such as Harvard and Cornell, where she obtained leadership certificates that have informed her practice.
In addition to her private coaching sessions, Ilse provides forward-thinking guidance to executives and workplaces on stress management, neurodiversity training, public speaking, and more, all rooted in the latest research and best practices. Ilse helps leaders and teams cultivate dynamic, supportive, and productive environments where everyone can thrive.
Growing up without a left arm, has taught her resilience and self-acceptance. She refused to be a victim of her circumstances and chose instead to see her prosthetic arm as a symbol of strength and resilience, a reminder that she is capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes her way. She learned to adapt and thrive, finding creative solutions to everyday challenges and never allowing anyone to discourage her from pursuing her dreams.

Mission
The struggle is real.
So real that many of us are barely keeping our head above the water.
I decided to start the Resilient Minds Blog, because I believe that we all deserve to find happiness and fulfillment. This can be even harder for those of us who are going through trauma and adversity, and for those of us who have disabilities and are neurodivergent.
Resilient Minds Blog is a free self-help blog with expert advice on how to navigate life’s obstacles.
Our mission statement:
- Building resilience and empowerment throughout life’s challenges.
- Free evidence-based tools and techniques to improve happiness and well-being.
- Building an inclusive and supportive community where everyone can thrive.
Trauma-informed and neuro-inclusive
